“Vanessa was incredible with my Luna! I had her check in on my nervous cat everyday and she went above and beyond all my expectations. I was sent tons of photos and videos of my cat eating / playing, and Vanessa took so much time to make us both feel more comfortable. She was incredibly patient and kind, Luna seemed to really enjoy her company. It is very clear that Vanessa is an animal lover, I highly recommend her to anyone! We will be definitely be rebooking her next time!”

“I can’t recommend Samantha highly enough! From start to finish, she was dependable, friendly, clearly cared about my two kitties and took the time to build a real bond with them. When the app wasn’t accessible, she was incredibly accommodating and kept in touch over email without missing a beat. I received videos and daily photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking again, and I’d trust her with my kitties anytime.”

“Repeat customer! Stephanie is the absolute best cat-sitter we’ve ever had. Not only did she take wonderful care of our kitties over the holidays, but she also stopped by extra times to help out with a cold-temp HVAC issue we were having while out of town. Above and beyond doesn’t even cover it!”

About: I'm semi-retired but really like helping people out. I know having pets can be stressful when you are away. I am here to make it less stressful and let you enjoy your vacation or focus on your work while you are away. I am semi-retired so I am flexible most days of the week (within reason as I do maintain a tech consulting firm). Weekends are possible, again, with enough notice and based on my own travel schedule. My wife and I have two cats, and when people come to check in on our cats, we expect them to be attentive to the whole house. Is water running? Does anything look amiss? A pet sitter is your eyes and ears...even if you have cameras all over your house. Having a dependable person visit your house lets you enjoy your vacation or give you peace of mind during the workday.

“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”

About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.

About: Ive had pets of my own and work with animals through vet hospital. I love cuddling, playing, and going on walks with pets. I am open to assist with giving medication for doggies who need extra care. I will happily send over pics of your pet during visits. I'm currently part time at a pet hospital. Availability can vary, just message me and we can try to work something out. On days I work usually I'm available in the evenings. I can offer boarding if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, I like to take pets out on walks for potty multiple times a day. I have 1 dog ( Wilbur ) + 2 cats (Phineas and Senu ). Wilbur is very friendly and would love the company of your pet. He is a tree walker coonhound Cats can be separated if needed when boarding your pet. For check ins - I can come over to make sure your pets have their food + water set. If meds need to be given I'm open to doing that. I'll also spend some time with them to offer some love and make sure they have some time outdoors. If owner allows I can take your dog out hiking / extended walks or to a park.

About: I am a mother of four. I have a dog named Dixie. She is a German Shepherd and loving.I used to have a full bred pit, but we had to give him away due to living situations.I like when the owners leave me a note or text just briefly about their pets normal routine so I can make their fur babies feel safe and comfortable around me. Playing with their fur babies on their level is important so they understand I'm friendly and harmless. Taking them outside is very important to me,they get fresh air and exercise as well. I just feel it is important any pet understands and feels as they are family.To me every pet is worth spending time with, getting to know them and love them. Have a blessed day! My puppy herself is high maintenance and has lots of energy. Taking care of her has helped me learn how to manage time more wisely and be able to challenge her while on walks. I take their pets on walks, depending on what their pet is. Honestly it all depends on their daily routine. I wouldn't want to change anything that their pet is used to so I would go off what their owner tells me their pets routine is.

About: I was an obedience instructor in high school, and took my Sheltie, Mistie, to earn our CD at dog shows. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and feel like I trust them more than people. I’ve never met a dog I was afraid of - bring on your “terrifying” pittie, we’ll be besties within an hour. I’m also great with the teeny, tiny dogs - I’m calm and soothing which puts them at ease. I work part time in Baltimore, so I am available most of the time! I love going on walks and exploring. I also love cuddles on the couch, as well as a fast-paced game of fetch! I will obsessively keep your baby in a leash when we are outside, and well as keep him/her away from other dogs, while out-and-about.

About: Hello! I’m Leigh, and I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. From dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and more, animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly believe that every pet deserves the utmost care, attention, and love, and I treat each one I care for as if they were my own. With decades of experience looking after a variety of pets, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency in building trust with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cuddle, I’m there to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to their unique needs, and I always strive to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in my care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry, feathered, or scaly friend like family, I’d love to be the one to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐾 I’m primarily available during the day on weekdays for walks and drop ins, but I can be flexible and arrange evening and weekend care as needed. Just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! When pet-sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment, sticking to your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure your pet feels at ease with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!

About: I've had dogs my whole life since I was 12 years old! I have lived with senior dogs and puppies and both together. Dog's truly are man's best friend and can heal the hardest of heartaches. They love hard and unconditionally and I will return that for every dog I care for :) Currently my schedule is wide open! I do play social sports throughout the week on different days but can easily be worked around for whatever needs :) I have two cats. They keep to themselves a the majority of the day. Will go outside with a harness to walk around the property

Rebecca does a great job with my yellow lab and notoriously skittish cat. Third time taking care of them. She also does a great job monitoring the aquarium and taking care of the plants.

As the wife of a veterinarian, I’m probably a little more particular than most when it comes to who I trust with our animals, and Michelle immediately put us at ease. She has a wonderful understanding of animal behavior and, just as importantly, knows how to properly approach and introduce herself to unfamiliar animals. Her background in animal control really gives her an advantage, and it was evident from the moment we met her. We have a grumpy, sometimes unpredictable dog and a skittish cat, so finding the right person isn't always easy. But after watching Michelle interact with both of them (she prefers a meet & greet prior to booking,) we had absolutely no hesitation leaving them in her care. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with plenty of pictures and updates on the boys. It was so nice to be away and not have to worry about how things were going at home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle and would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat. Finding someone who genuinely understands animal behavior and can confidently handle different personalities is invaluable!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hickory Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hickory Ridge is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $38 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,584 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hickory Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hickory Ridge. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
